Played on for some of Purple Wednesday tonight and when it was briefly working, it was good (if short, due to server crashes and me being on night shift this week, therefore having to leave at 9) fun!
Thanks to everyone willing to help out us newbies, this game does have a bit of a sharp learning curve for the HUD and such.

I have a quick question regarding technical issues of the game, sorry if this is in the wrong section and I'm happy to move/repost if necessary.

I'm having a lot of crashes in win 7 32bit and it seems from some google searching this is to do with having less than 4GB of RAM (I have 8 but 32 bit only detects 3.5) but I'm was planning to install Windows 7 64 bit tomorrow on a new partition as a temporary measure. I'm just waiting to get paid so I can order a decent external drive to backup then make a fresh install of the 64bit version.
Anyway..
I was just wondering if anyway knew whether it's possible for me to transfer this game onto the new partition without having to download it again? On my isp I have limited bandwidth allowance between 8am-8pm and as I'm leaving for work this week at 9pm it's a bit a pain (basically I'm too impatient to wait another day to play it!).

My thoughts were to transfer the current install folder to the new partition, then use the downloaded launcher to set the installation folder as this one, hoping that it would pick up that all the files are already there. Any ideas if this would work?

The lasher got an update today.
To make a long story short: it's still not worth it.
It is accurate, even okay on long ranges, but it's damage is still pretty low and due to it's aoe it's useless in close combat as you damage yourself and others around you (getting weapon locked in the process). So the only thing it could be good for is long range engagement, but which really isn't the job for HAs.
Dont buy it. At least for now. Needs more work.

Video impressions:

Around the 12 minute mark is a typical engagement with several players. Something the lasher should be good at but I would argue a shotgun or LMG would have performed better.

Got it working! Played for 2 whole hours without a crash instead of the usual 5 minutes. Hurrah.

I'd also highly recommend everyone join an RPS outfit and get on mumble. Had a nice brief game with Echo early, which was very informative.
There seemed to be a few people from the RPS outfit online (Vanu) but only three of us in mumble (one seemingly afk) get on there people!

I came to ask the same thing as bonkers.
It would be good to have a concensus on what servers we will be on ahead of time.
Also on who is setting up the outfits and when they will be online.

I wonder if it might be best to have the NC and VS outfits on different servers?
I'm not sure what the rules will be about multiple characters on the same account but that might prevent problems.
(I can envisage future meta-game changes meaning they dislike people having multiple faction characters per server.)

Other than that consideration, I'm happy for the squad leaders of each outfit to decide the details and let us know.

Judging by this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/c...outfits_to_be/ it seems that most major EU outfits are ending up on Miller. Release is on my birthday, so I probably won't be around for it but I can't wait to jump in and play a little more seriously with the RPS NC outfit (I've lone-wolfed it throughout the beta).

Me and cooper discussed this and agreed miller would be a good place to set up both outfits. We'll get it all figured out on tuesday
